Missing Family...please read.

James & Kati Kim and their two children have gone missing earlier this week. The 35-year-old Kim, his 30-year-old wife Kati and daughters Penelope (4 years) and Sabine (7 months) left their home in San Francisco last week on a Thanksgiving road trip to the Pacific Northwest.

If you're from the Bay Area, you may know Kati as the owner and proprietress of the store Doe, and is a major supporter of crafty/indie businesses & James Kim is a cnet.com editor.

A website has been created for updates and information on the situation: http://www.jamesandkati.com/.

If you may have seen them, or have any information at all regarding them, please please get in touch.

The last confirmed sighting of James, Kati was on Saturday, November 25, in Roseburg, Oregon at a Denny's Restaurant. They were driving a 2005 silver Saab station wagon with the personalized California license plate "DOESF."
